EDITOR’S NOTE
Here it is again – Fall. It’s one of those
bittersweet moments as a dairy goat
owner. Sure, exciting breeding plans
are being put into motion, and for
some, maybe a little break from
milking does is in store. On the other
hand, bucks begin to strut their stuff
and put their hormones into overdrive
to excrete their signature “sweet-asroses” aroma. Despite this drawback,
I’m sure we can all agree that, as
Oberhasli breeders specifically, every
struggle or inconvenience we run into
is well worth our time for this amazing
breed.
Safe travels for those of you attending
the ADGA National Convention this
year in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It
sure is a premier place to learn more
in so many areas, and network with
breeders and industry leaders from
across the nation. Possibly one of the
most coveted experiences of the
convention is sitting in (and possibly
bidding) on the ADGA National
Spotlight Sale. The individuals that are
consigned are literally the cream of the
crop from nationally recognized herds.
Two Oberhasli animals are expected to
sell this year. Be sure to check them

Summer is almost gone and we are into the
breeding season already. The "boys" are busy
dolling themselves up for the girls and the odor of
musk is in the air.
Through the summer the board has been quiet as
they attend shows and fairs. I hope that you as
members will take advantage of OBA's Hall of Fame
to show off those show wins. It’s free and all you
need to do is send those pictures to Andrea Green
along with needed information. We are still looking
for pictures of your little goat herders to put on the
youth page as well.
Congratulations to our Tim Von Thun for winning
Youth Premier Showman at the National Show.
Way to go Tim!
For reasons beyond my control, I will not be at the
Convention, but our display and representative will
be there.
May your dreams and wishes come true as you
breed for that champion Oberhasli.
Sincerely,
Betty McCorkle
OBA President

A NOTE OF THANKS…
FROM THE 2011 OBERHASLI PREMIER YOUTH
EXHIBITOR, TIM VON THUN
Oberhasli dairy goats since I was 5 years
old. From the beginning I wanted to be
one of the best Oberhasli breeders. I
even told one of my teachers once when
questioned, of my involvement with the
goats. In what was most likely my last
year participating in the youth exhibitors
at the National Show, it was very
rewarding to take home this honor.
Thank you so much for supporting
today's youth.....we're the future of our
wonderful breed!!!
Dear OBA,
I want to thank you for the beautiful
OBA blanket and ribbon. It was such a
surprise and honor to receive the
Premier Oberhasli Youth Exhibitor
award at this year's ADGA National
Dairy Goat Show! I've been raising

SPECIALTY SHOW UPDATE
As you plan next year's show, I hope that you will consider
hosting an OBA Oberhasli Specialty. Not only is this a special
award, but those well deserving animals will be displayed on
our website and in the newsletter. The cost of the rosettes and
shipping has sky rocked but the Specialty fee is still only $50.
The board voted to not raise the cost but to instead reduce the
refund to help cover the cost. The application deadline is now
March 31 to give you time to plan your show. The application
can be found on our website, www.oberhasli.net.
We look forward to serving you with our Specialties!
Betty McCorkle
Specialty Chairman

A MESSAGE FROM THE WEBMASTER
It’s been four years since anybody
sent in their show champion’s
pictures. There is a place on the
Hall of Fame for you to show off
your beautiful animals and their
championship wins. What a better
and cheaper way of advertising your
goats. There’s no cost to put your
animal on the webpage where others
can see them.
Just send their
picture along with the information
listed on the Show-Champion page
under the Hall of Fame link.
This past year has been hard for me
to get caught up on the complete
restoring of the website. It has been
difficult to locate old pictures and
information on past recognition
programs. Then it is hard to find
the time to put them all together. I
still have a lot of work to do. If
anyone would like to help, or better
yet take over the website, I would
appreciate it.
In order to keep the website up to
date and fresh, we need to have
current information. I would greatly
appreciate receiving the information
on
the
different
recognition
programs. So please when you send
in your reports for the newsletter,
send a copy to me for the website.
Also if you have any information on
the Youth winner for 2006 through
2011, and the All Americans from
2008 through 2011, I’d appreciate
receiving them so the website can be
brought up to date.
O
I understand the webpage has not
been very active for the last several
years except for the facelift that was
badly needed. So sometimes it’s
easy to forget that OBA has an
extensive site. When you’re making
out your advertising plans for next
year, think about how the OBA
website can help you.

Rebel Winds proudly introduces its newest members to the herd. These two beautiful
animals represent the beginning of a new line of miniature goats that have grown in
popularity in areas of the United States. Being registered with the Miniature Dairy Goat
Association will give me greater opportunities to show.
I will be working with the 4-H in this area to see if mini members will be allowed to
show these miniatures where they can’t show the full size goats.
I will still be breeding full sized Oberhasli whose lines are mostly Hyonahill and are
registered with the American Dairy Goat Association.
